Citizenship Test Practice
Canada Regions Practice Questions
The citizenship test loves to ask about the map of Canada. You may be asked for the capital city of a province or a territory, which provinces sit in each region, and what each part of the country is known for. With ten provinces and three territories and five regions to learn, this chapter holds a lot of place names that are easy to mix up at first.
The good news is that the map becomes friendly once you learn it region by region. When you practice a little at a time and see the right answer right away, each capital city attaches itself to its province or territory and each region starts to feel like a place you know. That is exactly what this practice set is built to do.

Each round gives you 20 questions drawn at random from the full bank of 161 regions questions in the course Joy teaches. Pick an answer and you will see at once whether you were right, along with a short note that helps the fact stick. Take as many rounds as you like. Each new round brings a fresh mix, so repeat rounds keep teaching you new capital cities and new region facts.
On the real test you need at least 75 percent of your answers right to pass. Aim to pass every round on this page before your test day, and the provinces and territories questions on the real test will feel familiar.
Ready when you are. Your first round pulls 20 questions from the regions bank of 161 questions.
